So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. 1 Corinthians 3:7 (KJB)

REMEMBERING DAVE HUNT by thebereancall.org

.

To our Berean Call Family:

Friday, April 5, 2013, Dave Hunt drew his final breath and entered
into the presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. His beloved wife
Ruth was at his side.

Born in 1926, David Charles Haddon Hunt enjoyed the advantages of a
godly upbringing and placed his trust in Jesus Christ as his personal
Savior and Lord in his early teens.

As a young man, he served in the military toward the end of World
War II. Afterward, he attended UCLA and received a degree in
mathematics. It was during that time that he met the love of his life,
Ruth Klassen. In 1950, they were married, and since both loved the
outdoors, they enjoyed a beautiful honeymoon hiking in the High
Sierras—perfect for two young people madly in love and with very little
money to their name. Marriage was soon followed by the birth of two sons
and two daughters. Ruth was a busy mother and also a gifted writer
herself. She had a tremendous interest in and knowledge of history, a
gift that would help Dave further down the road. Dave’s own career path
led him into a position as a CPA/management consultant and later as the
manager of several corporations.

Along with church-related activities, Dave initiated and became
involved in numerous campus ministries and meetings in their home, with a
special outreach to Jewish young people and foreign students. Many of
these have stayed in touch with Dave and Ruth through the years, fondly
recalling their times spent in Bible studies at the Hunts’ house.

Dave and Ruth also traveled abroad, spending time in various
locations throughout Europe, meeting with believers there and
ministering in many ways while raising their own family. Dave also
brought Bibles and other materials into the Soviet Union during a time
when it was very difficult to do so. Throughout his later years, he and
Ruth traveled extensively as he was invited to speak in churches and
fellowships, large and small, all over the world. Often they stayed in
people’s homes, dining with them, learning their customs, and sharing
God’s Word and God’s love.

The desire of Dave’s heart was ultimately to be involved in fulltime
ministry, especially since he saw firsthand everywhere he went the
breaking down of the true church as the world began to work its way into
her midst. He began to write in 1973, warning believers about the
incursion into Western culture and into the church itself of Eastern
religion, psychological and selfist philosophies, ecumenism, and other
unbiblical teachings.

The ministry of The Berean Call was founded by Dave in 1992. It grew
out of a previous organization, of which Dave was also a founding
member since 1986. With T.A. McMahon working alongside him at The Berean
Call, Dave was able to share his love for and defense of Christ in the
subsequent newsletters, books, videos, and speaking engagements that
resulted from this ministry. Dave and T.A. wrote three books together,
including the best-known The Seduction of Christianity , which
was groundbreaking in its boldness, exposing false teachings in the
church and daring to identify the names of the ones behind the
deception.

By the early 2000s, Dave’s love for Christ and his desire to defend
the name of the Lord had grown even stronger, and his concern over
Islamic politics and religion are reflected in many of his articles,
lectures, books, and interviews.

Then Richard Dawkins and the “new atheists” came onto the scene with
a vengeance, seeking to destroy the very concept of God in the minds of
everyone. Dave began to write and teach and speak more passionately
than ever about the absolute truth that is in the Word of God and our
need to immerse ourselves in it daily in order to prevent being taken up
in the evolutionist delusion that is sweeping the world.

One of Dave’s favorite activities was to see whom God would seat
next to him on airplanes as he traveled and spoke. He often said that he
“could prove the existence of God” just by these providential
occurrences. While writing about Islam, he would end up seated next to a
Muslim who didn’t really understand what Islam was about but was eager
to hear the difference between the Bible and the Qur’an. When Dave was
writing about creation vs. evolution, the Lord would bring him, as a
seat companion, an atheistic scientist who thought he had all the
answers and was very surprised that there was another verifiable
explanation to this universe.

Dave’s bold yet loving approach to any situation allowed him
entrance into these conversations where many others would have been shut
out. His love for Jesus, for Israel, and for people in general was
obvious to all. His enthusiasm for the truth, along with his anger over
the sin and wickedness that he knew was robbing people of what God
wanted for them, flamed his desire to share the Lord with anyone with
whom he had contact.

At least 4 million copies of his books have been sold, many of them translated into more than 50 languages. They include: The Cult Explosion; The God Makers (with Ed Decker); The Seduction of Christianity (with T.A. McMahon); Global Peace and the Rise of Antichrist; Peace, Prosperity, and the Coming Holocaust; The New Spirituality (with T.A. McMahon); Whatever
Happened to Heaven?; Occult Invasion; A Woman Rides the Beast; A Cup
of Trembling; In Defense of the Faith; An Urgent Call to a Serious Faith ; To Russia with Love (with Hans Kristian);
What Love Is This?; Countdown to the Second Coming; Seeking and Finding
God; Honest Doubts; Judgment Day!: Islam, Israel, and the Nations; Yoga
and the Body of Christ; and his final book, Cosmos, Creator, and Human Destiny.
He also wrote two novels, The Mind Invaders (formerly The Archon Conspiracy ) and Sanctuary of the Chosen, along with a children’s book called The Money Tree , illustrated by his daughter Karen.

This is by no means a complete listing of all of Dave’s works. One of his videos, Israel, Islam & Armageddon,
has become a tremendous tool for churches and for anyone interested in
helping to spread the truth about events prior to and since the attack
on the World Trade Center. His video A Woman Rides the Beast
is a favorite among those who are witnessing to Catholics, a group for
whom Dave had a deep love and sorrow, desiring to see them come to the
knowledge of the truth.

Dave Hunt’s own drive to find and then deliver the truth is evident
in everything he did. His impeccable research and recognized scholarship
were based on in-depth studies of original documents and publications,
interviews with key experts from around the world, and extensive
travel—including to South America, Australia, Europe, India, and
throughout the Middle East.

Dave has left us a legacy of inestimable value. We are blessed to be
able to see and hear and read what he has taught about the evidence for
God in a breathtaking number of materials. From explaining about the
history of Christianity, to exposing the deception that has crept into
the church, to teaching about the prophecies that are being fulfilled
even today, this humble, brilliant man will go on teaching us for a very
long time. We look forward to the day when we will see him again.

There are no public services scheduled at this time. There will be a
time to remember Dave at our conference this summer, August 23-24 in
Bend, OR.

In lieu of flowers or other gifts, Ruth requests that we rejoice with her that Dave is now with his Savior.

About Me (Also on FaceBook, shared with everyone):

I must address something that some have suggested about this my blog: "True Christianity vs Roman Catholicism"!
Thankfully, some words have more than one definition! Perhaps it decries the poverty in one's vocabulary to not know this! Therefore, by definition "vs" (versus) ALSO may signify "IN CONTRAST TO."
I would think that the efforts I here make to REACH Roman Catholics would make it obvious to any rational being that I am not AGAINST them! I am against their INSTITUTION, which seeks to keep them blind to the truth of the word of God!
I was raised a Roman Catholic, and was in literal shock when first I read the New Testament! It was only then I realized just what it meant to be a True Bible Believing Christian! I thank God for this discovery!
I have been a Bible-believer for the past 15 years. Praise God He drew me and the Holy Spirit opened my eyes.
My life's mission is to get as many Roman Catholics out of the cult in which they are, quite innocently.
John 6:44a "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him"
Thank you, my dear God, for drawing me into Your fold!

I am the LORD: my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.(Is 42:5-8)

14Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

16And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

18And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

2 Corinthians 6:14-18 (King James Bible)

Worship of mother and child spread from Babylon to the ends of the earth, called by different names

Madonna and Child "Semiramis became known as the "queen of heaven," and was the prototype from which all other pagan goddesses came." --World Religions by David Terrell - // "Semiramis, in particular was the model and original of every goddess and female cult figure in the ancient and modern worlds." --SEMIRAMIS, QUEEN OF BABYLON by Bryce Self

The following pictures show the lengths to which the Roman Catholic Church will PROSTITUTE ITSELF!

John Paul II in a Mosque KISSING the Koran, just as he does the Bible during services

Here is Pope John Paul II confidently being anointed with the PAGAN "Sign of the Tilak" - A PAGAN RELIGION, NO LESS!!

I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to graven images. Isaiah 42:8 (KJB)

John Paul II places Buddha ATOP the Tabernacle, in Assisi, to be WORSHIPPED TOGETHER WITH THE EUCHARIST during the ensuing ECUMENICAL ceremony with Buddhists! Here you see a Buddhist elevating his arms at the Altar!

...so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 2 Thess 2:4

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 1 Timothy 2:5 KJB

MARY WORSHIP: 1987-MAR-25: In his encyclical Redemptoris Mater, Pope John Paul II "referred to Mary as 'Mediatrix' three times, and as 'Advocate' twice." AND SO, TODAY, THE ROMAN CATHOLICS HAVE HER AS JUST THAT!!

And Roman Catholics notice not the Pagan fish-hat connection? Such satanic-induced blindness!

The Pope's and Pagan Dagon's hats and vestments are alike!
